Samsung rolls out Galaxy SIII Jelly Bean update, lists the other Galaxy models next in line

Samsung has announced that it has started rolling out the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean OS update to its flagship Galaxy S III handsets from today, with the lucky folks in Poland being first in line.

The update brings a slew of goodies including the rather fabulous Google Now feature.

Samsung declined to say when other markets may also join in with the Jelly Bean feast, instead saying that the roll out will be gradual, and the update timing will “vary by market and wireless carriers’ requirements.”

The update also bundles in a few of Samsung’s own enhancements, including improved ‘Pop up play’ functionality, an ‘Easy Mode’ serving up easy-to-use widgets for recent apps and favourites and a ‘blocking mode.’

A galaxy of updates

Samsung have also listed the other handsets due to get a Jelly Bean upgrade, although the timing of this will depend on where you live and who your wireless carrier is.
